[quote=Anonymous]I consider myself a pretty strict parent and my kids have choices about certain things but we don't discuss everything with them. However, if they didn't want to do something, I'm not sure I'd make them. Like if I mention going on a bike ride and they don't want to, I'm not sure I'd force them. Now, if OP is talking about a hike that's been planned, I would probably drag them on it if we had previously discussed it and they just said at the last minute that they didn't want to go (barring a fever or other illness). I think you'd get a better feeling for this mom's parenting if you went out for a meal or other activity with her and saw how much she gave in to her kid. But for a one-time thing I'd let it go.[/quote]
